Lord Palmerston admitted that he had a with the American Ambassador on tho subject, when he assured his Excellency that we would continue in our position of strict neutrality. His lordship went on to stato that he bad referred the question to the law advi “a of his office, and, with respect to the question ing persons found en board Mexican ships he had considered it his duty to instruct Mr. ham to oxpress te the United States government his hope that they would notepply the execution of that threat to British subjects. So far so good. But as some considerable time may elapse before the opinions of the law officers of th are ascertained, we may aa well state our impression that the proceediogs of any one purporting to sell such 1i- censes are not only in defianee of the common and tute law ef Eagiand, but of the common ani c tomary law of nations. A Sovei his pe fect obligations in viol the natural or perfect rights of another. A state can make reprisals for injuries committed ageinst itself or against its sub. Jects, but not in favour of a third powe: such power requeastit (1). That which te capnet do in its collective capacity, it cannot de by any of its individual members. The supreme power of every etate should possess a control over its subjects in relation to their conduct with foreign governments. Such control has ever been exercised by tho gevernnient of England. To enter into the service of a foreign State, or to contract any engegement inconsistent with the allegiance due to Queen Victoria, isa high misdemeanor at common law, asthe merost layman may sor feo pore the Ist vol. of East’s ‘Pleas of the Crown,” the third Inst 4th vol. of Blackstone: It has been held, upon the con- struction ef the statute of the 3 Jac. 1, c.4, 8 18, that if a British subject went out of the realm with intent to serve a foreign state, though he did not serve in fact, or that if he actually so served, theugh ho did not go over for the thin the statute (2). Itmay be urged, owever, that letters of marque have been frequently granted during the late and during every previous war. So they undoubtedly have by the Socretarics State, with the approbation of the Ripe 1 Council re ois Sountry openly professed to be an offcina of pirates or plun- ferere, be us could arm and eq) themselves against a friendly or even a . Letters of marque are grantable by the law of nations, wherever the subjects of one state are oppressed and injured by those of another, and fvcmaed is denied by that state to which the oppressor elongs. But the sovereign power in the state is the sole judge when such reprisals may be made: very private person might take upon him to In a barbarous era, as Grotius tells us, in his second book, it was common for the subjects of one State I8.on those of another. But the dangers urpese, he was wit (8), during @ time of war. But never has derers, where adventurers of all nati otherw levy w to make repri to which the supreme power itself wae exposed by such practices,induced all the states of Europe, since the four- teenth century, to withhold from their subjects the exer- cise of this dangerous right (4). If, therefore, it hus been found indispensable to withhold such a power from English subjects in reference to alien ,enemios, how much more necessary is it to withhold it from English- men, fraudulently clothing themselves with the churac- ter of Mexicans, in order to wa) against our ully, the United States. We entertain individually, as strong an opinion ## Mexicans themselves against the injustice of this Americun invasion of the Mexican territory. But so long a4 we are in amity with America we sbould not sutter our territory to be made the theatre on which hor- tule operations ugainst the United States are planned. By the 4th Henry Vc. 7, it w declared that if uny subjects of the realm are oppressed in the time of truce by any foreigners, the Kiog will grant marque, in due foim, to fool themselves uggrieved. But in this case @ and subjects, and the aggrieved such there were suff. were obliged io apply tu the Lord Privy Seal, who was to make out letters of request under the Privy Seal. If satisfaction or restitution was not then made the Lord Chancellor issued letters of marque under the we of the Mexican letters ad- dressed to English subjects at Tower-bill, or elsewhere divest them “i this Greut Seal. But in the y, these Kngliah subjects must on English ground, of their alle " the Englian law wilt not alow them to put off, either within or without the city. So far back asthe time of Carthow it was held that if a subject, daring war, with- out any commission from the King, should take aa ene my’4 ship prize, the prize would not be the property of the captor, but one of the droits of the dmiraity. {1 quired the owners of British tion of marque is granted, to give security to the Admiralty for avy violation of trea- between those powers with whom the uation is at urely will not favor that species of constructive the policy of our law has px, before the comm: yonc piracy —it it be not actual and downright piracy—now soughtto be practised.
